Reference Design is only usable with the specified Vivado/Vitis/PetaLinux version. Do never use different Versions of Xilinx Software for the same Project.

Reference Design is available on:

Design Flow


Reference Design is available with and without prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first launch.

Trenz Electronic provides a tcl based built environment based on Xilinx Design Flow.

See also:

The Trenz Electronic FPGA Reference Designs are TCL-script based project. Command files for execution will be generated with "_create_win_setup.cmd" on Windows OS and "_create_linux_setup.sh" on Linux OS.

TE Scripts are only needed to generate the vivado project, all other additional steps are optional and can also executed by Xilinx Vivado/Vitis GUI. For currently Scripts limitations on Win and Linux OS see: Project Delivery Currently limitations of functionality

Caution! Win OS has a 260 character limit for path lengths which can affect the Vivado tools. To avoid this issue, use Virtual Drive or the shortest possible names and directory locations for the reference design (for example "x:\<project folder>")

  1. Run _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell:

    _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh
    ------------------------Set design paths----------------------------
    -- Run Design with: _create_win_setup
    -- Use Design Path: <absolute project path>
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------TE Reference Design---------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    -- (0)  Module selection guide, project creation...prebuilt export...
    -- (1)  Create minimum setup of CMD-Files and exit Batch
    -- (2)  Create maximum setup of CMD-Files and exit Batch
    -- (3)  (internal only) Dev
    -- (4)  (internal only) Prod
    -- (c)  Go to CMD-File Generation (Manual setup)
    -- (d)  Go to Documentation (Web Documentation)
    -- (g)  Install Board Files from Xilinx Board Store (beta)
    -- (a)  Start design with unsupported Vivado Version (beta)
    -- (x)  Exit Batch (nothing is done!)
    ----
    Select (ex.:'0' for module selection guide):
  2. Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
  3. Create project and follow instructions of the product selection guide, settings file will be configured automatically during this process.
    • optional for manual changes: Select correct device and Xilinx install path on "design_basic_settings.cmd" and create Vivado project with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd"

      Note: Select correct one, see also Vivado Board Part Flow

  4. Create hardware description file (.xsa file) for PetaLinux project and export to prebuilt folder

    run on Vivado TCL (Script generates design and export files into "<project folder>\prebuilt\hardware\<short name>")
    TE::hw_build_design -export_prebuilt

    Using Vivado GUI is the same, except file export to prebuilt folder.

  5. Create and configure your PetaLinux project with exported .xsa-file, see PetaLinux KICKstart
    • use TE Template from "<project folder>\os\petalinux"
    • use exported .xsa file from "<project folder>\prebuilt\hardware\<short name>" . Note: HW Export from Vivado GUI creates another path as default workspace.

    • The build images are located in the "<plnx-proj-root>/images/linux" directory

  6. Generate Programming Files with Vitis (recommended)

    1. Generate Programming Files with Vitis
      run on Vivado TCL (Script generates applications and bootable files, which are defined in "test_board\sw_lib\apps_list.csv")
      TE::sw_run_vitis -all
      TE::sw_run_vitis (optional; Start Vitis from Vivado GUI or start with TE Scripts on Vivado TCL)

      TCL scripts generate also platform project, this must be done manually in case GUI is used. See Vitis

Launch


Programming

Check Module and Carrier TRMs for proper HW configuration before you try any design.

Reference Design is also available with prebuilt files. It's recommended to use TE prebuilt files for first launch.

Xilinx documentation for programming and debugging: Vivado/Vitis/SDSoC-Xilinx Software Programming and Debugging

Get prebuilt boot binaries

  1. Run _create_win_setup.cmd/_create_linux_setup.sh and follow instructions on shell
  2. Press 0 and enter to start "Module Selection Guide"
    1. Select assembly version
    2. Validate selection
    3. Select create and open delivery binary folder

      Note: Folder "<project folder>\_binaries_<Article Name>" with subfolder "boot_<app name>" for different applications will be generated

QSPI-Boot mode

Option for test.mcs on QSPI Flash.

  1. Connect JTAG and power on carrier with module
  2. Open Vivado Project with "vivado_open_existing_project_guimode.cmd" or if not created, create with "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd"

    run on Vivado TCL (Script programs BOOT.bin on QSPI flash)
    TE::pr_program_flash -swapp test
  3. Set Boot Mode to QSPI-Boot

SD-Boot mode

Not used on this example.

JTAG

Not used on this example.


Usage

  1. Prepare HW like described on section Programming
  2. Connect UART USB (most cases same as JTAG)
  3. Select SD Card as Boot Mode (or QSPI - depending on step 1)

    Note: See TRM of the Carrier, which is used.

    Starting with Petalinux version 2020.1, the industry standard "Distro-Boot" boot flow for U-Boot was introduced, which significantly expands the possibilities of the boot process and has the primary goal of making booting much more standardised and predictable.
    The boot options described above describe the common boot processes for this hardware; other boot options are possible.
    For more information see Distro Boot with Boot.scr

  4. Power On PCB

    1. FPGA Loads Bitfile(spi bootloader included) from Flash

    2. The spi bootloader transfers the hello_cr00107.elf application from spi address 0x005e0000 to RAM for execution

    3. Hello Trenz will be run on UART console.

      info: Do not reboot, if Bitfile programming over JTAG is used as programming method.

    1. UART

      Open Serial Console (e.g. putty)

      1. Speed: 9600
      2. COM Port: Win OS, see device manager, Linux OS see  dmesg |grep tty  (UART is *USB1)

Vivado HW Manager

Open Vivado HW-Manager and add VIO signal to dashboard (*.ltx located on prebuilt folder)

REACH, RoHS and WEEE

REACH

Trenz Electronic is a manufacturer and a distributor of electronic products. It is therefore a so called downstream user in the sense of REACH. The products we supply to you are solely non-chemical products (goods). Moreover and under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods supplied to you shall not release any substance. For that, Trenz Electronic is obliged to neither register nor to provide safety data sheet. According to present knowledge and to best of our knowledge, no SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) on the Candidate List are contained in our products. Furthermore, we will immediately and unsolicited inform our customers in compliance with REACH - Article 33 if any substance present in our goods (above a concentration of 0,1 % weight by weight) will be classified as SVHC by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

RoHS

Trenz Electronic GmbH herewith declares that all its products are developed, manufactured and distributed RoHS compliant.

WEEE

Information for users within the European Union in accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Users of electrical and electronic equipment in private households are required not to dispose of waste electrical and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste and to collect such waste electrical and electronic equipment separately. By the 13 August 2005, Member States shall have ensured that systems are set up allowing final holders and distributors to return waste electrical and electronic equipment at least free of charge. Member States shall ensure the availability and accessibility of the necessary collection facilities. Separate collection is the precondition to ensure specific treatment and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment and is necessary to achieve the chosen level of protection of human health and the environment in the European Union. Consumers have to actively contribute to the success of such collection and the return of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment results in potential effects on the environment and human health. The symbol consisting of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates separate collection for waste electrical and electronic equipment.
